Private Health Sector Businesses and the Banking on Health Project

By Banking on Health

Published: 2006

A major constraint to private health sector development has been limited access to financing. Credit is an engine of private sector growth. It can assist private health care businesses in expanding the range and types of services and products they offer; in entering underserved areas and new markets, and in instituting quality improvements.

The Banking on Health Project works with health service providers, product manufacturers and distributors, insurance plans, and non-governmental organizations. We work with all sizes of private health care businesses from small-scale, micro providers, such as midwives and drug shops, to large health networks and hospital groups.
